Upstaged in the market place by Musk’s takeover and purge of twitter.

Thanks for posting graphic, FRiend. For some reason or another, I’m not able to post imgur images directly. Thanks again.

Was it a “hostile takeover”?

Thanks for the link. Still, I’m unclear if the new service will be similar to Parler or a more “inclusive” one.

I don’t know, I always thought Parler was stupid, but if it was bought it was probably to give the FBI/CIA “former” employees at Twitter a place to go.

You have a point there, Jim Noble. More information about the alphabet soup agencies is always good.

It has been many moons since I even opened the Parler app. The Cabal screwed that one up very well.

All links in the Parler app home page lead to the sign-in/up page, including the advertising inquires and press links.

Yes, the cabal made it so very difficult to subscribe to Parler. Its war out there, and it is a silent war.

It’s kinda there in the press release, the name will be retained and hosted on a new system, the app will be relaunched, and our AI overlords will monitor all speech. They will determine the marginalized communities they’ll serve at a later date (but virtually guarantee that ‘US conservative’ isn’t one of them.)

Thank Amazon AWS and their willingness to immediately cancel a customer over an illegitimate rumor.

Any business built on AWS risks the same knee-jerk plug pulling.

Kingu, I read that too. Sounds like “code” for more “inclusivity” (ie: wokeism).

Let’s hope it stays free. When you don’t have access to that sweet CIA money, our choices are a bit more insecure.

Anyone know if Parler has an ongoing lawsuit against AWS with a decant chance of a recovery?
